The Skunks are a Family of Mustelids, notorious for their effective defense mechanism. His anal scent glands are more developed than that of related Mustelids and produce a sulphurous concoction of chemicals. If threatened, the Skunk will begin posturing: hissing, stamping and raising his tail, trying to deter the predator without resorting to his chemical warfare. He only carries enough for five or six uses, then requiring ten days to produce more. This spray is very efficient and can reach a range of 3m, and be targeting with precision. Skunks follow an omnivorous diet, including carrion, and are a primary predator of honeybees. He scratches at the front of the beehive, gobbling up any guard bees that come to investigate.
